You'll prolly have to wear a patch over your eye at night to make sure you don't scratch it in your sleep.

Take care to heed what the docs say. Write all your questions down beforehand and take them with you to ask the consultant.

Whatever happens, don't take a chance on messing up one of your eyes for the sake of getting some work done on your GTT.

Ive had laser eye surgery, wasn't too bad, had to wear goggles to bed for a couple of weeks and avoid bright lights.

Well I have cataract in the left eye but the professor says I'm too young to have it done yet :) he said if they did oparate I would lose my short vision so they have put me on six month referral.. They said I will need it eventually but not yet.. The mrs says I have no one to blame but myself... She says ****ing dose make you blind :) I asked if it was because I had ark eye years ago and he said nobody knows..

So the builds back on :)

Ive had laser surgery too but mine was done half way across the world...on holiday :cartman:

I've had no issues at all but I was freaked out about the procedure and general jiggery pokery of my eyes!

Hopefully itll get sorted without any complications :agree:
